Description (last modified by Iuri de Silvio)

When I change pink = models.Integer(default=0) to pink = models.Integer(default=0, db_column="pink") the migration drop/create the same constraints when it is an FK or even reconstruct the table (SQLite), but nothing really changed. The constraint drop/create is a blocking operation for PostgreSQL, so it is an undesirable and unexpected behavior.

Patch needs improvement because it depends on #31825 merge and then I'll fix conflicts.
